“Why should women have to give up their name upon marriage, as if they are nothing but hood ornaments to their husbands! And why should a child be identified only by their father’s name and not the mother’s, who by the way, is the root of all creation - who is creation! We are never going to have a civilized society with equity as foundation, unless we acknowledge and abolish such filthy habits that we’ve been practicing as tradition.

Showing off our skin-deep support for equality few days a year doesn’t eliminate all the discriminations from the world, we have to live each day as the walking proof of equality, ascension and assimilation.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“When the invader stomps on innocent lives, not choosing a side is a consent to oppression.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Ask us for water, we won't let you go unfed, but do not mistake our gentleness as fear. If you so much as lay a finger on our home, we'll defend it with our blood, sweat 'n tears.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Sonnet of Human Duty

To deliver humanity from inhumanity,
Is the duty of every human.
To deliver the innocent from injustice,
Is the duty of every human.
The indifferent may call it god complex,
Apathetic pessimists may call it idealism.
I call it the meaning of life and sanity,
The opposite is just a sign of doofusism.
Differences won't destroy the world,
Indifference is far more ominous.
The problem is not the evil doers,
But the silent spectators.
Mark me well, the day I stay silent is the day,
Lady liberty throws her torch away.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Not a kernel of kindness ever goes to waste, Not a gesture of gentleness ever goes awry.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Kindness No Obligation (The Sonnet)

Those who feel kindness is an obligation,
Don't really feel but crawl as walking dead.
Those who think society ain't their responsibility,
Don’t think, they're just specimens of mental midget.
Giants are those who lay themselves down,
For the welfare of every single soul around.
Intellect is a tool for, not a subject of, greatness and glory,
The root of all greatness is a gentle heart unbound.
Kindness is more than a trait, just like accountability,
These things make a human out of an animal.
Selfishness is more than a flaw, just like egotism,
These things keep an animal from becoming human.
Little selfishness is ok so long as your humanity is in charge.
We've been animal long enough, now let's be giants on guard.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“People Over Path (The Sonnet)

Celebrities defend vanity,
Intellectuals defend intellect,
Preachers defend scriptures,
Scientists defend factual evidence.
I found plenty of human professions,
But in none of them I found a human.
All are obsessed to defend their path,
Yet all paths are dead without a human.
No matter who we are or what we are,
Above all else our identity is humanness.
If this simple fact is still not clear enough,
All vanity, intellect, texts and science are baseless.
Before defending a puny path, let us take a human peek.
If we must defend, let us defend the helpless and weak.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Love Liberty Bondage (The Sonnet)

Love is liberty, love is bondage,
This won't make sense to an egotist.
Love is liberty when unselfish,
Bondage when selfish.
To be bold yet gentle and unselfish,
That is the whole of love eternal.
Whom you love, you'll die to protect,
To die for love is to be immortal.
Mere reading love stories means nothing,
Become a radical new story of love ever told.
Love is degradation as well as salvation,
When unselfish we rise, when selfish we fall.
A drop of lover's sweat outdivines barrels of holy water.
Only love is divine, rest are lesser echoes from days afar.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“All are so obsessed with comfort and luxury, that they rebel most vehemently when their wi-fi is down, but do nothing when their neighbor is down.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“It's not that the planet can't heal itself, it can, but once it starts to heal itself, humankind will be eradicated as disease-causing germs.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“I Am Ukraine (The Sonnet)

Peace doesn't come through prayers,
Peace comes through responsible action.
When the invader stomps on innocent lives,
Not choosing a side is a consent to oppression.
Ask us for water, we won't let you go unfed,
But do not mistake our gentleness as fear.
If you so much as lay a finger on our home,
We'll defend it with our blood, sweat 'n tears.
We ain't no coward to selfishly seek security,
When our land is being ransacked by raccoons.
When the lives of our loved ones are at stake,
We'll break but never bend to oligarchical buffoons.
The love of our families is what keeps us breathing.
To preserve their smiles, we shall happily die fighting.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Let me make one thing absolutely clear. I'm not here to enlighten or awaken anybody. Anybody who says they can awaken you, is either lying or plain deluded. I'm just here to burn, and if you want, you can burn with me, for light united is world ignited.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“La meditación más grande es la 𱹴DZܳó para la asimilación.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Ljus som delas är ljusförstärkt, Ljus som hamstras är ljus förlorat.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“La giustizia è la mia meditazione - l'uguaglianza è la mia meditazione - l'umanità è la mia meditazione.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work
“Valor and virtue can’t be bound by no graveyard.”
